Things still chugging along nicely. Noticed a little leaf tip burn on one but its not bad at all. Gave one feeding of only water. Plants need to be defoliated a little. I have not been taking leaves off every day so I am in need of some clean up. Will tackle that this week. If at any point you guys wanna check out my grow live please visit my Youtube page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7345iXI2LnTIG1mmONKtPQ Thanks for visiting my Grow!

23.2. - Watered 💧 25.2. - Watered 💧 26.2. - Yesterday I've dropped the light lower and it's already doing it's work. Plants got noticeably back to bud development. Gelato plant is just an experiment at this point as that pheno went completely mad 😁 27.2. - Watered 💧 28.2. - I've cut down the Gelato plant. Unfortunately, it would not yield any decent buds. Rest in peace Gelato 29.2. - Week wrap-up: I'm left with 4 plants. 2 creamatics got their last feeding today, only water for one more week. Two fritters will be feeded at least one more week and then I will reconsider. However, it was fine week as buds got more big and dense 😎 Watered 💧 23.2. - 29.2.2024

wowzers!! I think this might be the fattest auto i've ever grown lol well see when the weight comes of course but she has some thiiiiiick colas!!!! Seeing lots of trichs with mostly clear still so I have a feeling another 3-5 days until chop chop!!! she smells amazing!!! have a feeling shes gonna be a really nice smoke 😵

Utopia Haze is a rare heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created through back crossing Brazilian Sativa strains. This tasty little bud took home 1st Place for Best Sativa in the 2008 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and for good reason – with its potent 18-22% average THC level and long lasting cerebral effects, Utopia Haze is one powerhouse smoke. The Utopia Haze high comes on soon after you finish your first toke, hitting you with a strong cerebral lift that infuses you with a sense of hazy relaxation. Type: Feminised/Photoperiod Cultivation: Indoor/Outdoor Flowering Time (days): 70-75 Indoor Yield (g): Up to 650 Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month: October Feminised Outdoor Harvest Month Week: 3rd-4th week Aroma: Citrus, Woody, Pungent, Mint Effect: Cerebral Lift, Hazy Relaxation, Sleepy Welcome Everyone to the Final Entry of my Utopia Haze Grow ! There is so much to discuss ! I have been extremely busy as of late trying to get this Harvest together, but i am happy to have it here for you now ! I Seriously under estimated the amount of time, help from others, and my own necessary skills to pull this off.. and i still kind of screwed it up lol ! But its worth noting i have never actually done this before and trying to document it during....was extremely hard. It is next to impossible to work an iPhone with rubber gloves on ! First I want to discuss everything step by step so before you jump straight into the comments on how the end product is so small in "quantity" Rest assured i am happy with its"quality"...and thats all that matters to me because Life is a journey not a destination! and i have learned so much from this grow that I couldn't be any happy even if i messed some things up :) But at the very least I hope you read through this entry in its entirety with an open mind and focus more on the process, rather than just the outcome! I ran out of Ice & i was only able to wash three times..(normally I've heard you should go sometimes 5-6 washes) Preparation is Key & things will be much better next round :) Photos 1-22 These are pretty self explanatory but for those of you just tuning in now.. this is what happens to a very happy plant when you don't have the necessary tools to monitor key components of growing cannabis.. Ph, as well as EC levels play a very key role in the outcome of your grow lol that being said I was just able to save this plant by purchasing both tools but that doesn't mean the plant didn't suffer because of the prior events.. This was a Huge reason behind me choosing to turn this harvest into what i would consider "Solventless Hash Rosin" from "Ice water extracted Bubble hash". Pictures 23 The idea here is the process of using "fresh Frozen Cannabis" this has been discussed many a time online on such sites as instagram and here on grow diaries as well.. I personally have Never tried the process so i decided to try it out and make a judgement for myself.. Video 24 The Cannabis has now been in the freezer for 72 hours making it very well frozen.. as you can tell i struggled getting it all into the 25u Screen Wash Bag. One thing of note i would do differently is i will de-stem my next batch as i also believe this played a part in the amount of plant matter that escaped through the sieves. Photo/Video's 25-28 The idea here is "ice water Seiving" & especially with the bags that I am using here that are only have screen material on the bottom portion of the bag it is very important to have spaces in-between the screens to allow the water to pass directly through the screens into the bottom bucket with the least amount of resistance.. because the hash is so extremely temperature dependant if it gets warm on the side of the bag.. it will stick there and not make it to the bottom to become use able product.. 29 You do not need to use as much Ice as i used here lol... the idea is to keep everything very cold..i certainly achieved that but at the sacrifice of using so much that i ended up grinding product and producing "contaminants" but in the end they are just plant matter that i would be smoking when i rolled up my joint either way so.. I'm not super disappointed.. But it should be noted that what you want to achieve here is a Layering effect where you have the wash bag between two small layers of ice while the "water current" washes the Trichomes away allowing them to be separated by the screens setup below :) Before Starting the machine you should allow some time (i.e.;10-12minutes pre soak to allow the product to become saturated) before the first cycle. By video 32 I have just ran out of ice lol.. Video 33-34 Here I have a tip for you.. to separate the screens that you sieve through.. cut 5 gallon buckets to stretch them across nice and tight.. it'll make scooping your Bubble that much easier ! i learned this from the many "Frenchy" videos I have watched :) Picture 35 Here in lays the problem for most people.. drying your hash without loosing vast amounts of "Terpenes" whilst also stay ever vigilant against mold ! Thanks to all those videos I've watched on youtube.. id like to think this was one of my most successful parts of this process.. Things to Note; Terpenes start to seriously evaporate at temperatures 68F or 20C you need to stay as cold as possible whilst bringing the Relative Humidity in the space down into the 40-30% to stay away from that nasty mold ! I used my cold storage room in the basement.. with a dehumidifier running to keep the space at 45% RH & staying at a constant 15c. All while spreading the hash as thin as possible across parchment paper, on top of the white screens with a fan moving air across both sides of the paper. Pictures 36-38 These are some macros i took in the middle of my drying session I fell in love with the colour. Yes i know the black spots are plant material but they will get caught when i bag the hash & squish the oil out. Thing to Note; at this stage it is important to ensure you 'micro plane" the hash down as fine as you can whilst staying weary of the temperature... any "chunks" will hold pockets of moisture.. that lead to potential problems..ie; mold ... Picture/Video 39-41 Successfully planed bubble hash ready to be bagged and Squished ! Picture 42 Ive decided to follow Pedro.. from Pedros Grow Room and double bag to be on the safe side so i don't have any blow outs. So thats One 25u bag inside one 160u bag ! :) Pictures 43 This is almost 3 grams of the bubble hash from above, already melting in the bag.. this is where i ran into trouble again lol things started getting to warm in the house and i was only able to get one of the three squish's i did on video :( things started getting sticky. Picture 44 This is basically just a photo of the equipment I'm using; 3x5 LowTemp Cage in the frame I built myself, with a 20Ton bottle jack. Something to note here is this is an older Lowtemp model with only a single heating zone which is which i have it closed here heating Both sides of the press :) As well as the importance of having adequate pressure on your plates.. my rig is very overkill for the size of hash bags..lol Video 45 Here is the lovely press video.. its didn't quite work the way i wanted either lol my directional folding wasn't quite tight enough for a big "drip" :) &the Press was set to 65°c Photo's 46-50 are pretty self explanatory :) I had a blow out.. but still managed to pull an 80% return from the hash once squished...& yes it tasted amazing :) Was it worth it in the end... that could be debated.. for some..i understand..its not your thing, but for those of us that are interested in making our own concentrates.. free from Solvents... I wouldn't make it any other way :) If even ONE of you reading this diary finds it helpful to reference for ANYTHING.....even if its "what not to do" ill consider it a success ! Thanks again for tagging along on this garden adventure.. its been one heck of a journey ! Much Love from B.C. Canada, Until Next time, Cariboo

Switched to 12/12 a few days after first shot of bloom nutes, she seems a little heat stressed but relatively happy atm... Edit: We did manage to get the temps down

I harvested the last plant in several steps. The results are impressive. The first fluffier one was not as productive with 301g wet and 43g dry, but I also harvested it too early for other reasons. I'm going to make myself a snack from the buds. The other one performed great. The buds are hard as stones and smell like tropical fruit gums. I'm really excited to see how it tastes! I'll update when everything is dry! 👻👽 UPDATE DRY: The run is done! The Tropicanna Poison was super easy to grow and smells simply great. The first testers almost blew me away, really strong. More than expected. I would definitely grow it again. I harvested the first one way too early on day 65 because I had problems with the humidity, so as expected only 43g dry. The beautiful but small one with the massive buds gave me 76g of super dense and delicious buds. Less than 2g of popcorn :) Of course, I only kept 49.9g of the most beautiful flowers and properly destroyed the rest. 😕

Wow ready to harvest allready, flushed for a few days, trichomes are very cloudy with 10% to 15% Amber . Problem free grow 👍. I can totally recommend GREEN PLANET NUTRIENTS, virtually problem free grows since using this product & plants thrive on it, very lush colour & growth. Flowering additives work great, rezin does as the name suggests increasing rezin production,& terpenes, promotes fantastic flavours & taste. Not expecting much of this girl, very small at start of flowering.

Starting to flush. Black dog looking good three blue kings smell is something else. Can anyone advise if this plant has hermied in the video? There is like banana looking leaves sprouting out?

Week 2 of flower and I can see I should have some nice big buds when fully developed. They finished their stretch at the of week 2 and started to produce terpenes. The choc mint og smell is here!

86 days from seed in soil until chopped. Roughly 40g dry weight. I ended up pressing most of it into Live rosin, however I kept some in flower form to smoke. Personally, I'm not big into the scent or smell of this strain, but it stays true to it's sativa roots and everyone who has tried it has really enjoyed it. I'm not a big fan of this strain, purely based off the fact that my nose doesn't like the smell of this plant. It smells like chicked-peas (the stuff hummus is made from). It's very odd I know. However every one who has smoked it, including myself has enjoyed it. But if I'm picking and choosing, then this one would be near the bottom. I ended up turning a vast majority into live rosin and it is much, much better. Amazing for listening to music and cleaning the house👌

Canopy has began to fill in very nice, actually a little surprised given how lanky the one pheno was looking. My bag seed plant I was holding out hope of being female has let me down, she or should I say HE, showed his first little plant nuts a day or two ago. SMH 🤦‍♂️. Oh well, that's what we got the feminized seeds for anyway 😂. Hopefully we have some little flowers to show you guys in the next week or so! Thanks for dropping by, and will update pics again later in the week : ) HAPPY GROWING EVERYONE!!! 😃

Heavy rain all week again due to freak storms, very limited sunlight. Notice leaf mites and some sort of caterpillars eating away at them

This week I have separated the plants into 2 tent, to allow for wider canopy per plant. Day 5 - LST and defoliation needed

The girl has experienced some interesting changes outside this week, from +30 days to +3 nights, but it seems she is still thriving. I have done a main flower cut because I am going on vacation and will leave the girls alone for 10 days and therefore I don't want them to grow out, it all depends on the weather conditions :) good luck to everyone.

Hey fellow growers .. today is day 55 of flower or 130 total .. she's a Jamaican landrace so I'm guessing 3 more weeks ... Today was her first flush so no more nutes.... her trichomes are getting swollen and they are everywhere on the nugs themselves... especially for a full sativa .. she is going to be worth the wait... Thanks to everyone for checking her out..it's been a pain updating with this crap phone so I apologize for the subpar pics and videos.. God bless everyone and happy growing ✌️

Gave them every 2-3 Days 2 Litre of Water now. Just once added CalMag Began to spread the lower Branches out. Was a little bit late. But i don’t want to give them much Stress Topped the last Bilbo at the End of the Week And the Deficiency goes away One Main Branch broken but i fixed it with Tape and LST Wire

💚 ORION LIQUID NUTRIENTS 💜 3.6.25: I watered with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ 1/2 TSP Cal-Mag ♡ 1/4 TSP Mega Crop Part B PH: 6.3 PPM: 1300 Plus an additional 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients m; ♡ 1/2 TSP Cal-Mag ♡ 1/4 TSP Mega Crop Part A PH: 6.3 PPM: 1000 This week has shown some good progress, and we are now in flower and in need of more nutrients, so I'm trying my best to adequately feed. Adding in the Mega Crop Part A now regularly from now on. I'm hoping to see some better growth coming in next week. Thanks for stopping in this week 💚🙌🍃😊🌱✌️

Hola amigo! Una semana más de vida para las pequeñas y ya se ven muy establecidas ☘️ Apenas hemos regado una vez desde la siembra ya que se mantuvo la primera semana en ambiente a 90% de humedad relativa. Las puntas de las hojas que hicieron contacto con el borde húmedo sufrieron un poco. Ya están recuperándose ✌️ Ph: 6.1-6.5 EC: 350 PPM 020+/020- HR: 65% 5+5-. C⁰: 19-26% A ellas parece gustarles el sustrato liviano mezclado con composta madura... ☘️ #4 ya alcanza los 8 cm de altura! Saludos a todos y mucha paz gente.
